Note-offs not sent on seek (FIXED)

[sockmonkey72]

Trying to get some attention for this bug again. Here's the short and sweet:



1. New Track with external MIDI routing
2. New MIDI Item
3. A note event
4. Playing the item and stopping will correctly cause a note-off to be sent
5. Playing the item and seeking will NOT send a note-off

Yes, there's a workaround (ReaControlMIDI), but concern troll that I am, the workaround is unintuitive and undocumented and until users discover it, the use case of external MIDI hardware is simply broken in a fairly basic way.

Please consider fixing this, I keep running into it (I have a lot of external MIDI hardware), despite various attempts to automate the workaround. Thank you!

It's been a few point versions, bumping this again. The ReaControlMIDI workaround does not work consistently, there are still situations where seeking causes MIDI note-offs to be dropped, even with a VST on the FX chain.

As mentioned elsewhere, with a custom VST on the FX chain analyzing the MIDI stream, I can see that REAPER is generating a note-off on seek, but it is not leaving REAPER.

I do not have the tools to determine whether the problem is at the output of the track, or in CoreMIDI. But you do.

Thank you, I hope you'll take a few moments to investigate this. Hanging notes suck.

+1 from me, this is very annoying for anyone sequencing hardware synths.

Looking at this, I assume you have "send all-notes-off on reset" for the hardware unchecked?

Yes, I do at the moment, but the state of that switch has no effect on this behavior (all notes off is often ignored by hardware devices, which is why I generally turn it off).

Thank you for looking into it!

Appears to be fixed in v6.49+dev0221.

Squeak!
